Ragarding the earlier post about a goverment not making any money off the sale of marijauna that is very untrue it is personal prejudices in communities and local officials in making the decisions caused by a report submitted in the early 1940's or 50's by a senator who didn't like. His reason being was that it was being introduced into America by the cheap mexican labour coming into the USA. A lot of the reasons he put fourth for the illegization were spurious. It is not physically addictive. It is as much of a gateway drug as alcohol & perscription medication. It does not cause aggressive, violent or manic behaviour.
Keeping it illegal just makes it none taxable and a
most money made from it usually go to the criminal element of society. They then use this income to fund the import and distribution of more dangerous and addictive narcotics as well as illegal weapon
Here is a Meme I received near the end of last year from a friend regarding statistics of 1 year since the legalization of the use, sale, growth & distribution of Marijauna in the state of Colorado, USA.

The reduction of theft & violent crimes is hugely signicant, the saving of enforcement costs can now be used to deal with the more significant drugs on streets like cocaine, heroin & meth.
The jobs & businesses created directly by the industry (like farming and Weed distributors) and indirectly (like weed bars smoking device sales) are all now taxable. Thus the national income of the whole of the whole country would increase.
